  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan
    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible.

  • Assc Sectoral Survey Into Self-Caterer Access to Covid-19 Business Support
    Sectoral Survey into Self-Caterer Access to Covid-19 Business Support Week 3 Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers Supporting self-catering in Scotland ASSC SECTORAL SURVEY INTO SELF-CATERER ACCESS TO COVID-19 BUSINESS SUPPORT Introduction • The Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) is the leading source of knowledge on short-term letting and holiday homes in Scotland. The ASSC conducted a Scotland-wide sectoral survey relating to issues concerning eligibility and access to the various packages of economic support from the Scottish and UK Governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. • The online survey elicited 629 responses from self-caterers in Scotland, from both ASSC members and non-ASSC members alike, in 31/32 of Scotland’s local authorities. • The results offer valuable insights into the experiences and problems faced by Scottish self-catering operators in accessing the support required to safeguard their business in a sector that has been estimated to contribute over £723m each year to the Scottish economy. Survey Overview • The ASSC ran a third round of their online survey consisting of 18 questions. This was publicised via ASSC newsletters, as well as on the ASSC’s social media pages on Twitter and Facebook. • In 24 hours, the survey generated 629 responses. 260 were from members of the ASSC and 369 responses were from non-members. Summary It is hoped that the survey results will continue to inform discussion regarding the support required for self-catering operators in Scotland to ensure that no sector is left behind by government, as well as what changes are necessary to protect livelihoods in what has been a key component part of Scotland’s tourism offering for a generation.
